In response to letter written from Sheila in Bloomfield, I cannot imagine anyone saying that it makes no difference if you’re a Christian, atheist or Muslim when running for president.

Our country was founded on Christian values. If you think everything that a candidate promises will come true, you have very little knowledge of our past presidents’ promises. Candidates can promise anything, but once elected, that’s a different story. And if your next president doesn’t have Christian values, high standard of morals or experience that will serve his country, then we are doomed.

Don’t make the mistake of voting for anyone who has no faith. And even though our President now is a Christian and has made what we think were grave mistakes, remember he doesn’t act alone and is only as good as those working with him and advising him.

This country was built on Christian values and don’t forget it. In God we trust absolutely.
